When Does Terminator Launch in Mortal Kombat 11?

Mortal Kombat 11's T-800 Terminator is right around the corner with a launch trailer. Here's when you'll get to play him.

As we work our way through Mortal Kombat 11’s first Kombat Pack, the T-800 Terminator is the next fighter on the schedule to launch. A launch trailer is out there, but we’ll be getting Terminator closer to mid-October. Terminator is Mortal Kombat 11’s first guest character to join the roster, as has been the history of Mortal Kombat DLC since the Mortal Kombat reboot in 2011. Here’s when you can expect to play the iconic machine assassin.

The Terminator launches on October 8, 2019 as laid out in the Kombat Pack 1 DLC reveal trailer launched on August 21, 2019. As we’ve been waiting for the latest on the DLC, NetherRealm has been busy improving Mortal Kombat 11. Each character got third variations in a recent patch. T-800 and future DLC will also likely feature three tournament and Ranked variations a piece. That said, September 30 also saw a launch and gameplay trailer teased for the T-800, giving our first look at how the time-traveling machine plays.

With T-800 launching on October 8, we assuredly won’t have to wait long to put everything we see in the trailers into action. The Terminator also arrives just in time for the Halloween season, which is kind of perfect for the horror-themed guest characters of Mortal Kombat’s storied history. The Terminator is the third character of the Kombat Pack 1 to launch, coming in after Shang Tsung and Nightwolf, and ahead of Sindel, Joker, and Spawn. After Terminator’s launch, Sindel will be next on the ledger, coming on November 26. Joker will come in January and Spawn arrives in March.
